Make the most of the skincare and makeup you already own. Photograph your shelf once. ShelfSense reads every bottle on it, then turns what you have into celebrity looks, at-home treatments and a weekly routine — so the good stuff gets used while it is still good. GET THE LOOK FROM YOUR OWN SHELF Celebrity, movie, skincare and hair looks, each one ranked by how much of it is already sitting on your shelf. • Every step names your product: "Your Victoria Beckham Satin Kajal Liner" • Missing one thing? It stays in the plan, and you decide whether to buy it • Try it on: take a selfie and see the look on your own face, with your features and skin tone kept exactly as they are AT-HOME TREATMENTS, NO SHOPPING TRIP Facials, exfoliation resets, vitamin boosts, gua sha and scalp massages, built from the products you own. • "You have 5 of 6" before you start, so you know what tonight can be • Steps in the right order, with the time each one needs to sit • Build your own: pick a purpose, and it slots in your products and finds a free evening ONE PHOTO, THE WHOLE SHELF Point the camera at a shelf, a cabinet or a whole vanity and take one picture. Every product is identified and labeled on the photo as it is found — brand, product, type, shade and size. • Nothing is saved until you confirm it • Anything already in your stash is flagged, not duplicated • Low-confidence reads are marked so you can correct them YOUR WEEK, FROM YOUR OWN BOTTLES ShelfSense plans your evenings around the actives you already own, and it never puts retinol and an exfoliating acid on the same night. Every step names your bottle and tells you why the other one is sitting this evening out. • Own several of something? It opens the one closest to its date first • Still introducing a retinol? It starts you at two nights, not three • Tonight, step by step, in about four minutes NOTHING GOES OFF UNUSED Opened products have a clock on them. ShelfSense tracks period-after-opening for everything on your shelf, reads the printed expiry date off a label, and gives the forgotten ones a job in your routine. • See what is expiring, what is forgotten and what you doubled up on • A reminder about a week before something is past it • Log your empties and see what you actually finished YOUR SHELF, FINALLY WRITTEN DOWN One tidy beauty inventory of everything you own, what it cost, how much is left and how much of it is actually in rotation. • Filter by skincare, makeup, hair or body • Add products from email receipts too (Gmail, Outlook and iCloud Mail) • In the shop? Check first. It tells you when you already own two a lot like this ALSO IN THE APP • Duplicate spotting — five shampoos and three near-identical corals, grouped, with a straight answer on which one to finish first • Read my skin — a photo of your face, and a gentle routine written for what is visible in it. Not a diagnosis, and it says so before the camera opens • Sign in with Apple or Google and your stash follows you across devices. No account is needed for your first scan SHELFSENSE PRO Three shelf reads a month are free. ShelfSense Pro adds unlimited scans, the look try-on, the skin read, the dupe finder, email receipts and the full look, treatment and evening detail — free for 7 days, then a monthly or yearly subscription. Cancel anytime. ShelfSense is not a medical device and does not diagnose skin conditions. If something about your skin concerns you, please see a professional.
